Stripe Business Statement Workflow
Goal: create a clean bundle per period and reconcile net payouts to bank deposits with minimal ambiguity.
What to prepare
Required
- Payout batch summary for the period
- Supporting PDF exports you rely on for reconciliation
- Bank statement lines showing the matching deposits
Optional (when needed)
- Refund and dispute detail exports
- Fee breakdown reports
- Currency conversion documentation
Step-by-step
1) Choose a boundary
Pick one: monthly close or payout cycle. Write it down. Use the same logic every month.
2) Build one bundle per boundary
Put only the documents for that boundary into one PDF bundle. Do not mix multiple periods.
3) Merge and preview
Use Merge to create one file, then Preview to confirm page order and completeness.
4) Match payout to bank deposit
Match each payout batch amount to a bank deposit line item. If there is a difference, explain it using fees, refunds, disputes, holds, or FX adjustments.
Quick troubleshooting
- Deposit missing: confirm payout date and payout status; check for delays and holds.
- Deposit smaller: fees, refunds, disputes, reserves, or FX adjustments.
- Deposit larger: multiple payouts combined or prior-period adjustments.
- Nothing matches: you are likely mixing transaction-date exports with payout batches.
